        Verdict

        Benny The Bus, Bajeel and Antigoni are three against the field in the finale and the vote is given to Benny The Bus. The selection was a good third behind Woodhill Schnapps. This looks less competitive and off the same mark here he looks the one to be on. Bajeel rates the main danger, enters handicaps off what looks a handy mark, and with the fitting of a first time tounge tie he is likely to bring about improvement. He should be watched in the market. Antigoni is another that could go well on his best form but his best efforts of late have come over a longer trip. Of the remainder Green Pirate is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to Benny The Bus.
